[help-gengetopt] BUG : mutiple and argoptional option fail to fill <opt>_args[0] with default value

[Frédéric Heitzmann]

Hi all,

I defined and option like this :

option "foo" - "bla bla bla" string typestr="STR" default="default_foo" argoptional multiple optional

If I call with --foo, the default value is not added to foo_args[0].
Actually, foo_args[0] is a NULL pointer, while I expected that foo_args[0] would be string "default_foo".

If I remove 'default', and set --foo without any argument, this time foo_args[0] is set to "default_foo".

The documentation says :
"If it is known that a multiple option has a default value, then it can
be safely assumed that the first element of generated array
<option>_arg is always set.
"

so it really looks like a bug to me.

Can someone confirm ?
I may work on a patch if it helps.
